An implementable go-to-market -plan for a service or a product

Systemic learning
The figure below illustrates the systemic learning used in HUBS studies. In this course, you will not listen passively to lectures, but will produce information, experiment and learn by acting for yourself!

This course focuses on real life cases. The program supports moving from experiment phase to commercialization phase:
- How to turn an idea to create multifaceted value?
- Customer centric idea development: learning quickly from success and failures
- How to use digital platforms/tools to evaluate the idea and creating sustainable business?
- Modern sales and marketing
A facilitated process
The program is facilitated by a commercialization coach. The process is:
1) new information
2) active dialogue
3) explorations
4) summarizing

The development cycle is based, where applicable, Scrum and Lean Startup methodologies, TAMK Proakatamia’s model of team learning as well as Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework.
The outcome of this course is a concrete and implementable go-to-market plan.

- understand the different phases in a commercialization process
- can apply knowledge and modern business development tools
